    Technically, that would depend on what would power the android. An android that gets energy from processing human food would work pretty well and there is sci-fi precedent for it- androids in the Aliens films eat food.

    That said, I would hope they would have a more efficient way to get rid of that food waste than humans, so maybe they wouldn’t need bathrooms.

      Maybe they can recycle the raw material like a replicator can recycle raw material.
